Brother Cadfael - David Austin Rose
Brother Cadfael has a wonderful rich fragrance and thickly bunched, generously sized medium pink flowers rather reminiscent of double peonies. This plant is typical of the breeding of David Austin and we think it one of the best of his recent introductions; Brother Cadfael is stong growing and branches well making it not only good in a rose border but as a low hedging rose also.
As with all the Modern English Roses, Brother Cadfael roses are best planted in triangular groups of three with 45- 60 cms between the plants.
A rightfully popular rose Brother Cadfael grows to 1.5 metres in optimum conditions

Delivery:
The basic delivery charge for orders of bareroot roses is £9.49 + vat, which increases to £12.55 + vat if you add any pot-grown plants, standard trees or fruit trees to the order.
Because couriers sometimes experience delays, we schedule delivery by week, not by day. Therefore, please plan your planting day for the weekend at the end of the delivery week or for the week following delivery, at the earliest.
You can choose the delivery week that suits you during checkout and we will email you the day before your plants are due to arrive.
Payment: We do not charge your card until we begin to prepare your order for packing.
Guarantee: If any plants die within a year, we will replace them. We only ask that you follow our planting & growing instructions and sent us clear photographs of the dead plants in situ, so we can help to make sure that the replacement plants succeed. You only pay for the delivery of the replacements.
Please note that our guarantee is void if there is a hosepipe ban in your area: your newly planted rose bushes must be watered in dry weather while it is establishing. The best way to water is very thoroughly every few days: at least once a week if there is no heavy rain.
Our nursery has been supplying container grown and bareroot rose plants to gardeners and landscapers since 1949. Our website started in 2003, so we do understand the concerns that you may have about buying roses online. If any of your plants are damaged when they arrive or if you are otherwise not satisfied with your order after you inspect it, please repackage it and contact us. We will give you a refund or send replacements and send a courier to come and collect the unwanted plants.
